crackpots – Page 2 – The Lateral Hazard

The expulsion of the young Nationals should start the alarm bells ringing in all political institutions in Australia.

The simple fact the strategy was to infiltrate a major party and change political platforms in such a blatant way and go unchecked shows that our political systems can be influenced by the extreme be it left or right and the smaller parties are not exempt.

On social media I am seeing groups accelerate decisive propaganda preying on people’s emotions, encouraging religious and cultural divide, all in the name of being “Real Australians” a nationalistic trend that is happening across the globe by ult-right organisations. These groups thrive when people become political disenfranchised and results in people voting for the minors as a protest vote. Those minors are easy meat for the extremists as the structures are in place and the numbers easier to be stacked and then balance of power is the objective.

I am in favour of competition in our democracy but I do not want to see our divide grow as it has in America. We are smarter than that I hope, but let’s not fall into the trap that “all politicians and Parties are the same”, either, their not. Some ideologies are deadly serious to change our culture to one controlled by interest groups similar to the NRA.

Be aware punters, not complacent.

Well I don’t know about you but I am sick and tired of politicians playing party games with me and my families life.
Regardless of our political views we appoint governments to govern democratically firstly then with the populations best interest across the country.
Yeah , I know, that’s a dream but I believe we are now subject to the crackpots particularly from the right pushing ideology over their responsibility to the social standing of the vast majority.
Yes I do have social conscious and don’t believe a population should be based on a set of numbers some nerd has come up with in a suit.
Governments should have a responsibility to improving the societies, health, climate, living conditions, food quality, the basic thing we need for survival on this planet.
You can’t eat money!
Keeping that thought what is all we hear day in day out from these politicians? Money, money, money. Bottom line Government… Or race to the bottom..
No health no Life.
But to be honest it greed isn’t it? The battle for the top of the tree, ego, power, wealth rules of a few big players in business and religion reinforces that justification.
They control the politicians, the churches, the media so non compliance often is regarded being branded as a danger to “their society”.
That’s about my rant for the day but maybe we think a little bit harder next time we go to the polls, and think of our societies best interest instead of just my best interest…. Your kids may thank you for that one day……
